3-18-10 "The Runaways" Named Film of the Week
The Phoenix Favorite Film for the week ending March 19, 2010 as voted by the Phoenix Film Critics Society with a score of 7.0 out of 10.
The Runaways were the ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s. Friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie went from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley the group became an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earned a name for itself-and so did its two leads.
